Just look at the Bristol Channel. đź’©

Honestly. Imagine the UK without immigrants or their children and go far enough back. None of us would be here.
Just a bunch of Baldricks with their turnips and cunning plans angry at the world and unable to see what they could have had.

This isn’t “woke”.
This is real.
I asked a machine to imagine a UK with no immigrants.
It gave me a black hole where our culture, innovation, and compassion used to be.
The uk with no Chinese take away. No pizza or Indian chicken tikka masala doesn’t exist.
Bleak and boring and devoid of colour.

No immigrant doctors in the NHS.
No Magdi Yacoub = no heart transplants for thousands.
No South Asian or Caribbean nurses.
The NHS wouldn’t be on its knees.
It would be dead.

No Diane Abbott.
No Sayeeda Warsi.
No Rishi Sunak, even.
No Black or Asian MPs.
A parliament unchallenged. A system unshaken. A future unopened.

No Mo Farah.
No Rashford free school meals campaign.
No Bukayo Saka — or 2021 Euro final heroics.
The England team looks like 1970s Subbuteo.
Flat. Fragile. Forgotten.

No Sade.
No Beverley Knight.
No NAO.
No British soul.
No blueprint for a Black British woman to top charts with elegance, depth, and power.
The music industry stays male, pale, and very stale.

No UB40.
No Red Red Wine.
No British reggae.
No M People.
No Soul II Soul.
No Craig David.
No Stormzy.
No Glastonbury 2019.
No MOBO Awards.
You don't just lose songs — you lose identities.

Here are some examples of the “conversion” i had with a machine. (No emotion)
No Lenny Henry = no Comic Relief.
Which means:
No global spotlight on UK charity.
No Love Actually, Notting Hill, or Four Weddings (Curtis worked with Lenny and arguably helped promote his career.)

I listened again today, James. Like I always try to.
Today your first caller frustrated me.
So I asked ChatGPT:
What would the UK look like if no immigrants had ever come here since the 1970s, what would the loss of them mean?
The answer? A cultural ghost town. A scientific vacuum. A political void.

I’ve been saying it for years. Make a law that links the lowest worked wage to the top earners wage and tax them more the bigger the ratio.

Never knew a tea related post would make me feel so angry and disappointed at the same time.

Is the fact the top of the gas ring isn’t on 100% correct making anyone else twitchy?
